Having had access to the pending edit queue for a full two days now, it appears that very few proposed edits are rejected due to content being plagiarized from another source without attribution. Most are rejected due to the editor attempting to add what should be a comment, or because their change was too significant.

With that in mind, could the default selection be changed from "copied content" to "invalid edit"? This is a minor thing, but selecting those minuscule boxes is a pain in the buttocks. I supposed a larger feature request could be to enable the radio buttons to be chosen via keyboard (1-5 or something), but that can be a separate feature request.

+1 for the "custom"; I was going to make a second post about the fact that none of the choices are appropriate for tag edits, which uses the same form, but the "custom" kindasorta fixes that.

I got all excited about this, but when I checked I'm still seeing the old list of options; do I just need to be more patient?

If we're going to have no selection by default, then please modify it so the five (now six) appear in the page tab order. Currently, when the "why are you rejecting?" box is open, hitting tab sends the selection to the "search" box on the top right of the page. Opening the rejection box should make:

the six radio buttons first on tab order

the "other" box seventh on tab order

the the "reject" button eighth

the "cancel" text ninth

This should speed up the response selection time for us keyboard jockeys.

I don't know how it works on other platforms, but on a Mac radio buttons are given the same tab position and you use the arrow keys to change the selection. If it doesn't work the same, then this might make it more difficult to do this.

@ughoavgfhw - If that's how it works, then that's what I meant; I haven't played around with tab orders in a while and probably just got it wrong.
